AI is no longer just a breakthrough technology. It is becoming an essential infrastructure layer that will reshape every industry. New AI-first companies and the AI supply chain that support them are poised to create significant value. At the same time, there is an even larger opportunity ahead: how incumbent businesses will apply AI across their organizations and capture much of the value.

This session explores why incumbent businesses are positioned to capture much of AI’s value, and what it takes to do so. Drawing on his experience across Brightstar, Sprint, T-Mobile, Claure Group, and Brightstar Capital Partners, Marcelo will share his perspective on deploying AI at scale, including what is required to move beyond pilots and make AI adoption successful.

This keynote offers a blueprint for turning impossible challenges into inevitable outcomes. The world feels unstable and fast changing. Entire communities are living through uncertainty while technology and AI rapidly expand what humans can build. Some experience this moment with security. Others face realities that turn creativity into a survival skill. Born as a Black child in communist Czechoslovakia, Yemi’s path led him from the margins of possibility to creative partnerships with Apple, Mercedes Benz, Google, and the world’s biggest stages including the VMAs, Saturday Night Live, and Coachella, and eventually led to his selection as a civilian for a SpaceX mission. Through this journey he developed a leadership practice that aligns head, heart, and gut into one coherent source of action. The keynote also highlights the work of young leaders within the Moonshot community who embody this mindset every day and invites audiences to develop the clarity, courage, and disciplined imagination needed to create change wherever they stand.

When Rola Dagher first came to Canada as a young refugee, she didn’t speak the language and had no formal education. Beginning her career in Bell’s telemarketing department, she hustled her way to the top, earning senior sales leadership roles at Bell Canada and Dell. Most recently, she was the global channel chief at Dell Technologies after a groundbreaking tenure as President and CEO of Cisco Canada. With over two decades of experience in the technology industry, Dagher credits her leadership philosophy, “learn it, earn it, return it™” for fueling her success, both individually and as a leader.

In this story-driven keynote, Dagher shares her powerful journey from a childhood in war-torn Lebanon to boardrooms around the world, breaking down her philosophy — “learn it”, embracing continuous growth; “earn it”, relentless hustle, determination, and resilience; and “return it”, the mentality of lifting others up — and illustrating how it creates leaders who don’t just succeed, but build world-class teams, drive transformational change, and achieve sustained excellence.

Key takeaways include:

• The three-phase framework that turns adversity into advantage.
• How to hustle with heart while maintaining authentic leadership.
• Why “returning it” amplifies your impact exponentially.
• How to transform systemic barriers into stepping stones for yourself and others.
